FASHION NOTES.

A good many fiat white and black
leghorns are shown by the milliners.
The white are trimmed with dotted point
d'esprit and white feathers.
Simple flower pins, representing elem
ats, orchids, primrose, violets and pan
sizes, enameled in the natural delicate
colors, as now worn, are IN exquisite
taste.
"A made-up Windsor bow is one Of
the seasons novelties in neckwear. 1t
saves the trouble of tying, which pre-
vents many people from wearing Wind
sor ties.
The four-in-hand is dropping deli
cately to a modest size. Wide ties are
entirely passe, and two inches is the pop
ular size. Even narrower widths will be
shown soon.
An afternoon dress is of plain cam
els-hair and plated velvet; skirt OF vel
vet made up bias; vest revers, and
waist-edge OF velvet; cuff and band over
sleeve and collar of velvet.
For mems outing dress, Knicker-
booker trousers are rapidly growing in
favor, and long stockings Of tasteful de-
signs are this season more important
part of manufacturers stocks than hither-
to.
French skirtings in linen and percale
are less startling than last season, and the
tendency is toward quiet and genteel eff
fects. This does not apply to figures,
which are more strongly colored than
ever.
The "white toilets" imported from
abroad are no longer dead white, but are
really gray. A dress ordered from Paris
a few weeks ago was composed of soft
pale gray silk. Over this was a cloud of
grayish tulle, then another LAYER OF a
lighter shade, and finally one Of white,
held in place by sash ends of the three
shades of tulle.
